I have a small FB app which were retrieving posts from a group where I am an admin. It was working fine for ages, but with the latest changes in v3.0 of the Graph API, it is broken, and I totally don’t understand why.
My access token has groups_access_member_info,user_managed_groups
permission and I able to see my SECRET group in the list GET /v3.0/me/groups
However, when I try to retrieve the feed GET /v3.0/<group-id>/feed
the empty list is returned.
I also tried to do it for the CLOSED group and the result is the same.
What happened? Is it FB bug? Did anybody managed to retrieve feed from a group?
Any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks!

I’m have the same question as well. Facebook and others keep telling us to use our own app, but we just use Graph API explorer to download group posts. We are a university study research group, not a startup or a company so we don’t have our own app to give people.
Your app must be be approved for the Groups API feature.
The Groups API is a collection of Graph API endpoints that let you read and create Facebook Group data on behalf of group members.
